A recently circulated video has captured a highly emotional moment involving a suspected internet fraudster, popularly known in local parlance as a Yahoo boy, who was seen in tears after being informed of a foreign client’s death.
The young man, whose identity has not been confirmed, appeared visibly distressed and overwhelmed by the news.
According to reports, the individual had allegedly scammed the deceased client—identified as James—out of a significant amount of money. The situation took an unexpected turn when James’s sister, Ashley, contacted the scammer under the assumption that he had been a close friend of her late brother. She reportedly shared the heartbreaking news of James’s passing, not realizing she was speaking to the person who had defrauded him.
The emotional impact of the revelation was evident in the video, where the suspected fraudster could be seen weeping and struggling to process the news. Viewers have responded with mixed emotions, with some expressing sympathy for the unexpected emotional reaction, while others have criticized the deceptive actions that preceded the tragedy.
This incident has reignited discussions online about the psychological consequences of cyber fraud, not just for the victims, but also for the perpetrators—especially when confronted with the human cost of their actions.
The sister in the message said; “Hello, my name is Ashley, I am James’s sister.”
“I just wanting to tell you that he is gone.”
“They found him midmorning, he left note, they let me read it but could not keep it.”
“I am his sister, would not bullshit like that, I jsut want my brother back.”
